I can't think of a compelling reason to jailbreak my iPhone in 2013, and I suspect that's true for a lot more people than it was in the past.

Yes those were the two choices, jailbreak or not stare at the phone before sleep. Very perceptive, aroch.
Does being snarky make you feel better about yourself? I find it hilarious that someone who knows that staring at a bright blue-white screen is going to impact their sleep, continues to do so. It is even more amusing to think that they'd rather drop $400+ on a new Android phone that can run lux/redshift instead of modifying their own behavoir in a trivial way.
It sure did make me feel better about myself. Did telling that person he was using his phone wrong make you feel better about yourself?
There wasn't even a problem. "I like f.lux." "Or you could not stare at your phone." What were that poster or third party readers supposed to have gleaned from your comment, pray tell?

SwipeSelection for me too, kept swiping 2 months after upgraded to ios7, it's just fucking makes sense!

#54Just in time for Apple to patch iOS 7.1 ahead of its release. What a waste (unless it's been already patched in 7.1 beta and this is the last chance for this to be used by someone).
"Apple has purportedly already fixed exploits used for iOS 7 jailbreak"

My top:
Specify my own dns server when using the cellular net.
Random ssh stuff when i don't want to use one of my vps's due to latency.
Full access to MY Files.
Open VPN(which i guess is possible without jailbreaking now days)

Apple nailed everything I really jailbroke for in iOS 7 other than F.lux.
But F.lux is so truly fantastic that the day there's a proper, 100% supported jailbreak (i.e. one that actually works well with official versions of MobileSubstrate/Cydia), I'll be jailbreaking just for F.lux.

You should not alter your lifestyle to fit the limitations of your possessions. Rather, your possessions should help you to live the way you want to. If you enjoy staring at screens at night (e.g. for reading), you should buy gadgets that enable you to do so.
This reminds me of threads on MacRumors and Apple Discussions. Someone asks how to do X with [gadget]. Someone replies that you can't do X with [gadget]. Then someone asks why you would want to X with [gadget], you're obviously using [gadget] wrong and you should buy Y to do X instead.
The rest of the thread is an argument over whether people should want to do X with [gadget]. Maybe a post explaining how to more or less do X with some hacks thrown in the middle.

My top three: Freedom to copy your data out of an app into your computer even if the app doesn't "allow" it. E.g., get into Notes.app's sqlite database after they decide to delete all the data when you unlink your account even if it hasn't successfully synced for a year so that you can recover half of it. Develop apps on your own device without paying $100 and supporting the war on general purpose computing. Also com…
You can actually do the first bullet point with software like iExplorer - the app sandboxes are only protected on the device, but when connected to your computer it's all available to you.

I've been keeping my phone on ios6. I don't want to give up f.lux, or adblock. Or password pilot, or folderenhancer for that matter.

F.Lux It used to take me 30-60 minutes to fall asleep. I jail broke my phone to install f.lux and now I fall asleep in ten minutes or less. If I eventually can't jailbreak an iPhone, I'll switch to android.
Same. It's funny that the primary reason I haven't upgraded to iOS 7 is because I like my screen red at night. F.lux is the one tweak that I can't live without, and probably would consider a switch to Android if I couldn't make it happen on iOS. Apple should just implement f.lux-like behaviour in OS X and iOS, maybe with an API to allow it to be disabled temporarily (for Photoshop, etc.)
> Apple should just implement f.lux-like behaviour in OS X and iOS
No. Apple should let people run the programs they want on the devices they purchased. There should be a seriously insane number of hoops to jump through to get to the switch, but the switch should be there.
